The art is a symbol of the culture of the people. Everyday life is beautiful and should be celebrate. The people are proud of whatever they do and always seem to have a calming look on there face.

If you keep up with any news form the Low Country you heard the voice of  Nadine Collier (Daughter of deceased Ethel Lance) when she forgave her killer in an open court in Charleston, SC.)
